Russian Propaganda
Not only are the Russians great fighters. They are
great propagandists probably the world's best.
Observe their excellent war films, for example.
And even more striking their daily war communiques.
The latter are invariably readable lively, dramat
ic, vivid, gripping; in sharp contrast to the British
and German which are coldly factual, stodgy and un
inspiring, t
FEW in fact can view the Russian films or read the
Russian war reports and have any doubt whatever
that Stalin has Hitler on the run and will beat Santa
Claus to Berlin by Christmas.
This is particularly true if they read the Russian
reports and no others.
For this high conquering quality and unshatterable
self-confidence is a note that never falters that is
guBtained day in, day out whether the resourceful
and romantic Muscovites are falling back to "new
and strongly prepared positions" or gallantly ad
vancing over the dead and frozen bodies of the ill
clad Nazi reserves to occupy a score of more inhabited
villages, and add three or four more thousands to the
prodigious German casualty lists.
And this, of course, is the acid test of good propa
ganda and its purpose it must build up home morale
and break down the morale of the opposition.
ONE can hardly blame Hitler, therefore, for shoot
ine any of his people caught listening to foreign
radio broadcasts. For if the German people should
once get in the habit of listening to the broadcasts
from Moscow we said HABIT the war would cer
tainly be over far more quickly than will be the case
with this privilege denied. .
For look what this propaganda has done to Amer
icawhere the privilege is NOT denied I
Less than three years ago Soviet Russia was the
most thoroughly disliked and suspected country in
the world as far as Uncle Sam was concerned. To
day no other foreign country can approach Russia
in American popularity.
TX7E don't maintain this reversal in sentiment has
" been due SOLELY to propaganda. The sturdy
fighting heart of the Muscovites, their refusal to quit
and their inspiring willingness to die, have been
chiefly responsible. But we do maintain these quali
ties could never have made the impression they nave
made had it not been for the remarkably effective
Russian method and manner of publicity.
AS a matter of fact Russians have always been great
artists music, painting, literature.
And propaganda really good propaganda is
LITERATURE. So there should really be nothing
surprising in this superiority of the Soviet publicity
department
Only so many misguided people have thought the
Russia of Stalin had gone so far back from the cul
tured Russia of Tchaikowsky, Dostoievskiy, Tolstoi
and Turgeniev!
More Of The Same
As a postscript to the above, however, the Russian
propagandists, like Homer, sometimes nod.
And they nodded yesterday when they maintained
over the radio that in the
Russian army has caused
ties 8,000,000 dead, wounded and prisoners.
Eight million! that's a
man's war. And these were all of course on the Rus
sian front.
inj doubt if in the present American mood, many
radio listeners questioned the truth of that
statement For no one denies the Russians have done
an amazing job, and the German casualties have been
tremendous.
But eight million 1
That is three million
have lost during the same
Wendell Willkie.
Well, let's see. Who knows something about the
German army? Presumably Wm. Shirer of Berlin
Diary fame.
And Mr. Shirer believed that in combat troops
and certainly the Germans on the Russian front aren't
NON combatants I Hitler's maximum could not ex
ceed eight million and more likely was around five or
six million. He also estimated a year ago Germany
had approximately 2,000,000 troops holding the Rus
sian front that was at the start of the winter cam
paign of course.
Now, obviously, if Mr. Shirer knows what HE is
talking about and he has a high reputation in that
direction then the Soviet propaganda bureau
DOESN'T, or if it does, purposely departed from the
fact and indulged in fiction.
COR AGAIN quite obviously, if on the eastern front
r alone Hitler in 18 months suffered 8,000,000
casualties even assuming a large share of them
were wounded he would have no army at least
no effective army left
Moreover, while many wounded men return to the
front the percentage of the wounded returned to ac
tive duty, is not as nigh as many people think.
For in this modern warfare, a soldier can't be half
fit, or even S5 fit he has to be completely fit or he
might better be making munitions or guarding a
bridge in the rear.

WHY THE PH
The fact that most people get
their little knowledge of physi
ology, not from textbooks, not
from school,
not from physi
cians, not from
health authori
ties, but from
almanacs (the
old timers),
from nostrum
p r o p a ganda,
from colon fill
ing sta 1 1 o n s
and from each
other, accounts
for the great
Dr. Brady American phy
sic habit.
Two fundamental fallacies
contribute to the cultivation of
the physic habit by people who
think they know more about
this man than the "ordinary"
doctor knows. First is the fal
lacy that the bowel requires
"regulation," whereas In fact it
Is controlled and regulated as
automatically as Is the heart ac
tion or the breathing. Second la
the fallacy that if one does not
constantly .interfere with he
automatic control of peristalsis
with physic or enema "auto-
Intoxication" is sure to occur.
"Autointoxication" or, as some
of the shrewd charlatans now
call it, "autotoxemia" or even
"autotoxtcosis" (these latter
terms serving to keep the folks
in line when they begin to sus
pect "autointoxication" Is lot
of hooey), is a purely hypotheti
cal poisoning of the body by ex
cretions reabsorbed from the
colon or large bowel into the
blood. No such poisoning has
ever been scientifically demon
strated. No reputable physician
ever makea a diagnosis of
"autointoxication."
In making these assertions I
do not mean to imply that I will
tell you what your particular
complaint Is If it isn't "autoin
toxication." So don't try to
stagger me with that argument.
If you are so all fired certain
that you suffer from autointoxi
cation if you fail to take your
customary physic or enema. I
refer you to any authoritative
textbook of physiology for
wnoiesome enlightenment. If
you find anything that seems to
sustain your morbid belief, do
let me In on it. I'm just plod
ding oia aoor-to-door practi
tioner and for all I know what I
don't know may fill many books.

BEST Kaiser story drifting

of three colored government
workers who were sent to Kais

Portland area to undertake to
straighten out the troubles of
the colored workers imported by
Kaiser from New York. Kaiser
had to entertain the colored ne
gotiators, but the color line is
drawn In the swanky hotels and

Puget Sound. Kaiser could have
hired a private room In a hotel,
but did not. The shipbuilder

Less Clothing

Isnt comfortable if they are so cold
thetr legs are blue and covered with
goose pimples. They do so from
psychology follow the leader, show
off, attract attention, shock old

(Mrs. B. O.)
Answer The motive for the fashion
la of no concern, so far as health or
hygiene goes. In any circumstance
the leas clothing any one wears, the
better for health. The goose pimples
are rather good for 'em.
Peg Tooth Was a Failure
Dentist wants to Install an artifi

he says It la necessary to anchor this
to the second teeth on either side
of the space, but I remember -you
told about a peg tooth that can be
put Into the Jawbone to fill such
space without disturbing sound teeth
adjacent. (L. Met..)
Answer Tea, but I was grevlously
wrong about it, and I know of no
dentist anywhere who has implant
ed such a peg tooth successfully. In
your place I'd have ehe artificial
tooth Installed as the dentist ad
